But good things die hard. In spite of these changes and setbacks, tucked away here and there stand sporting camps whose owners proudly struggle to maintain a tradition that may very well be the only stabilizing factor in the Maine woods.

Fortunately, these few hardy souls have held on long enough to witness a renewed interest in Maine sporting camps. We have come full circle. We need what sporting camps have to offer, now more than ever. There are precious few places where we can feel the fundamental connections with nature and with one another.

Sporting camps still provide solace for urban refugees (meaning most of us), and a wilderness playground for those who love the outdoors. Most of all, they still provide a much-needed "port in the storm," far from the fractured, mobile, frenetic, and alienating forces that impose on our humanity.

5. Carry Road and Lakewood Camps area near Middle Dam - Upton (1860) Year listed: 2004 http://www.mainepreservation.org/Endangered/lakewoodcamps.shtml

Saved! Maine Preservation learned in October of 2004, that Union Water Power Company has dropped its plan to develop a nine-lot cluster development at Middle Dam near the Carry Road. The decision was the result of discussions with Friends of Richardson over the course of several months prior.

In recognition of Union Water Power Company’s decision to forego development of the nine-lot cluster, Friends of Richardson have agreed to not oppose Union’s development of three lots on the south shore of Richardson Lake (away from the historic Lakewood Camps). In addition to the above, the area will greatly benefit from Union’s conveyance of over 12 miles of shorefront along the Rapid River and Pond in the River to Rangeley Friends of Richardson, a grassroots organization Lakes Heritage Trust and $1,500,000 earmarked "dedicated to the preservation and conservation of for further conservation and stewardship. the Richardson Lakes, Rapid River and surrounding areas," fear that this new development will "have a BACKGROUND: Near the New Hampshire border, negative impact and cause irreparable damage to the Carry Road and surrounding Middle Dam/Rapid the unique and historic character of the Carry Road River area located at Lower Richardson Lake and the entire area surrounding it."

It was threatened by Union Water Power's proposal to re- zone a six-acre parcel of land at Middle Dam adjacent to Lakewood Camps. The re-zoning would allow for the construction of a condominium-like development of nine clustered camps located between the Carry Road and Rapid River, only 1,000 feet away from Lakewood Camps, visible from both the Camps and the Carry Road.

They were part of the larger Daicey Pond sporting camp built in 1902 by Maurice York. For 67 years Photos: Lookout Cabin & Outlet Cabin at Daicey Pond Camp the York family played host to fisherman, hunters and outdoor enthusiasts before selling their camps to the Baxter State Park Authority in 1969. From that point on the cabins have been rented to the public by the Park Authority, and have become part of the beloved, inspirational cultural landscape of Maine.

The Park Authority demolished the famous cabins in September of 2004. The cabins were deteriorating due to use, age and neglect but were still structurally sound and historically significant. A new six-person cabin is proposed to be constructed further from the pond. Reasons cited for their demolition are deterioration, supposed detrimental environmental effects caused by the campers (although no environmental assessment had been conducted to affirm this) and inadequate size.

This is not the first proposed demolition at Daicey Pond. In 2003 the Park Authority removed the old "Guides Camp," the original guides' cabin built by Maurice York in 1902, without any public disclosure of the proposed plan. The Park Authority's aversion to preserving these historic structures is evidenced by the demolition of the old guides' camp combined with their refusal to allow this and the adjacent historic camp on Kidney Pond to be formally listed in the National Register of Historic Properties. The nomination was proposed in 1993 by a group of four hundred citizens; however, consent by the Park Authority was not given to allow the nomination to proceed. Listing in the National Register does not necessarily insure preservation or protection.

George Kerivan, an authority on the history of Daicey Pond and part-time resident of Maine, mounted an effort to save Outlet and Lookout cabins. He points out "very few people know about
